Christmas Charities 2: The Spring of Tampa Bay

Although this is not a 12th District-based organization, The Spring is a great organization to give to this Christmas.

The Spring is a Tampa-based organization that sets up safe houses for victimized women and their children. According to its website, it is the DCF-certified Domestic Violence Center for Hillsborough County. Its mission is "to prevent domestic violence, protect victims and promote change in lives, families, and communities."

Their website outlines some unwrapped gift ideas for the families they help:

 
Help make the holidays bright for the families we serve with your gift!

Gift Suggestions:

Target gift cards (of any amount), Sports balls
Wal-Mart gift cards (of any amount), Infant toys
Non-violent toys, Teen gifts
Dolls of all cultures - No stuffed animals, please!

Find more information on their website.

Or, if you want to give unwrapped toys locally, you can always drop them off at any location that participates in Toys for Tots, including Publix and some churches and schools.
